The 4R’s

Frank Dick one of my mentors shared this basic concept to give a context to debrief of training or performance.

• Reason – Why are you doing what you are doing?
• Reality – What exactly are you doing? Is that reconciled with the reason?
• Reflection – What did you learn from what you did? Be as specific as possible here.
• Response – What are you going to do differently? This should consist of specific actions based on the reflection.

This is a simple process that can be used to make your daily coaching more effective.
